....to get in touch with authorities. He posted at FR, right? It's up to individual members there if they dialoged with him.

1. the director mentioned first amendment rights
and the rule of law to speak on hate.. however, i believe he should have mentioned that although the first amendment protects us from speaking our mind, there is a fine line speaking hatred than to actually formenting it and telling people to "rise" up and "do it"

this is what a lot of the right wings websites and talk radio shows do every single day

2. I was glad to hear him call von Brun's act "domestic terrorism"
I agree with your point about certain media inciting such acts by their tone and choice of phrases.

4. I love how Law Enforcement mentions that
each time members of a white supremest group are arrested. Yet if anyone else is arrested for similar crimes they label them as "thugs" and "terrorists", Its sad to see racism is still alive and well.
